Does anyone know about Design Acoustics PS-6a?

I used to sell these about 1992-93ish....they were pretty good speakers. I prefered there larger bothers PS8. Anyway, I think they were around $250-$280 (I'm remembering back a long way). They are light bass, but not to bad. Probably worth $90.

Well, I just looked them up in the Orion Blue Book. Retail $280, Wholesale used shows $43. I doubt you'll find them for that....but that's what the bible says.

hope that helps

Design Acoustics was the speaker branch of Audio Technica. These were all sealed designs that made use of mediocre drivers ( like most speakers did back then ). The sum of the parts was much better than what any of the individual parts were worth, showing that the designers had both good ears and talent. For a small system that wasn't expected to shake the earth with high spl's or prodigious bass output, they wouldn't be bad at all. With some simple mods that would cost next to nothing, they could be improved even further.

As a side note, due to being sealed, their bass output isn't going to be nearly as round or "potent" as most current vented designs. If you can live with tight bass that is pretty quick, clean and reasonably accurate down to about 55 - 60 Hz or so rather than desiring a lot of under-damped bloated slop that extends down to 45 Hz or so, these will do you fine.

Many thanks. I have Integra P303 pre-amp and Onkyo M-8000 power amp (50wpc). Do you think they work well with these little speakers? Tung
